Allow TableStyle to handle row headers #31

Closed Xitian9 closed 1 year ago

Xitian9 commented 2 years ago

This addresses some of the points in https://github.com/muesli4/table-layout/issues/20#issuecomment-1060164646. In particular, row headers are now rendered in the table, along with special line styles available within the row header (as there are in the column headers).

I have chosen to display a row header only in the first line of a row group, thus breaking the symmetry between row groups and row headers, so that question has also been resolved.

Also simplifies the creation of new TableStyle from TableStyleSpec, allowing it to handle ASCII tables as well, and creating an even simpler constructor simpleTableStyleSpec.

Here is an overly fancy example from the test suite. It renders better in my terminal.

The end-result looks great, well done. I will have a closer look soon. (Just did some of the simple ones first.)

Anything I can do to help this along?
